District 14B's Monthly Newsletter October 2020 District 14B’s Monthly Newsletter October 2020 Welcome to October fellow Lions, Lioness, and Leos, October is a time to enjoy the best of autumn, apples, fresh cider, the gorgeous fall foliage, the cool evenings and warm days, and brisk walks through the park. One of the things we cannot enjoy this fall is the annual District Fall Rally. Due to current circumstances we had to forego those plans. That however should not deter us from enjoying one another’s company. Continue or restart your meetings. I have been able to attend a number of club visits in September. I thank you for the hospitality and warmth I received at the Northern Allegheny picnic and meetings with Brentwood and Clairton. And the honor of installing the officers of my home club Monroeville. As Lions we always have something to do. This month is no exception. World Sight Day is October 8 this year. October is the month traditionally set aside for White Cane Day. Do any clubs have plans for White Cane collections? Please remember to report your activity to District White Cane Chair JR Wilson. (See page 17) On Sunday Oct. 18th, the Multiple District has scheduled the Fall Leadership Symposium in Greensburg. The flyer with the particulars can be found here in the Cauldron. Please plan to attend and enjoy a day of fellowship, learning, and reenergizing. (See page 7) We are continuing the District wide face mask sale. You will notice my picture this month I am wearing the green PA LIONS mask. The district mask is the same except it is blue and signifies District 14B. The first shipment of 3 dozen has been sold, including some sent to other parts of the state. We all need to wear a mask now. Let’s show our Lions Pride with one of these masks. Remember that the sale of each one adds money to your clubs’ administration fund. Again, an order form is attached to this newsletter on page 5. The latest project we have been asked to help with is the disaster relief for fellow Lions in Louisiana. This year has been an active hurricane season on the Gulf coast. The Multi District 14 – Pennsylvania – has mobilized a disaster response team to support those in need of supplies to help clean up efforts. Last week an appeal letter was sent out to all club Presidents and Secretaries asking for whatever monetary help can be provided by club and or personal in this effort. Also, if any Lion that may have the resources or connections available to provide any quantity of the supplies needed would be greatly appreciated. We have all heard the saying, “Where there’s a need, there’s a Lion”. Here is the time for that saying to take root. Won’t you help? Thank you. Lastly, the November State Council meeting scheduled for Washington, PA has been canceled. The Council of Governors meeting will be held online via Zoom. During that weekend there was to be a vote taken on two ballot questions to amend the state Constitution and Bylaws. Question 1 concerns the replacement of a Council Chair if the current Chair could not fulfill their duties. Question 2 modifies the distribution of the state per capita dues. It does not change the amount of the dues, just the allocation amounts. The Governors have decided that a vote will be taken on Sunday Nov. 8 albeit electronic. All Clubs across the state will have eligible delegates to vote only if ALL DUES ARE PAID! That includes LCI, State and District. All clubs should have dues paid by this time. Those that do not, ask your treasurer to pay them now! Please have your club dues paid by Oct. 15, 2020 to be eligible to vote in this important election 1 Greetings Lions, Lionesses, Leos, and guests, Fall is in the air! We have typical Pittsburgh weather, cold in the morning, warm in the afternoon and cool in the evening. My kind of weather! I’m looking forward to the trees turning their beautiful hues of orange, red and yellow. The snow can wait! I found a very interesting article about Braille and I wanted to share some of the highlights with you. First of all, do you know what Braille is? It is a tactile reading and writing system used by blind and visually impaired people who cannot access print materials. This is quite timely because the second week in October is when we celebrate National Braille Week in 2020. It coincides with World Sight Day on October 87, 2020. Braille was developed by Louis Braille in the early 19th century. He developed Braille after using Captain Charles Barbier’s “night writing” which was a code of dots and dashes into thick paper. These impressions could be interpreted by the touch of a finger and letting soldiers communicate on the battlefield without needing to speak or have light. The Captain’s system was a little too complicated, but Braille was inspired to come up with a system of his own. By the time Braille was 15 years old, he had trimmed Barbier’s 12 dots into six and had found 63 ways to use a six- dot cell in an area no larger than a fingertip. Braille published his own system in 1829 and added symbols for mathematics and music. The braille code has undergone continuous modification over the years, particularly through the addition of contractions for words which appear frequently in English. Braille is written in either uncontracted braille or contracted braille. Uncontracted braille is every letter of every word is expressed in braille. Contracted braille is used for reproducing textbooks and publications. Cells are used individually or in combination with others to form a variety of contractions and whole words. For example, in uncontracted braille the phrase “you like him” requires twelve cell spaces. If it were written in contracted braille, this same phrase would use only six cell spaces. Embossed Braille is usually produced using a Perkins Brailler which has only six keys and a space bar. Computers provide and continue to expand additional avenues of literacy for braille users. Technology has provided gadgets like the Dot Braille Smartwatch. See the article below for more information. https://www.wearable-technologies.com/2018/10/the-dot-braille-smartwatch-lets-the-visually-impaired-people-see-the- world-from-a-different-angle/ In District 14B, we are fortunate to have an organization that helps the visually impaired right here in Pittsburgh. The Blind & Vision Rehabilitation Services (BVRS) on Locust Street has a variety of services available to the visually impaired, for anyone who is experiencing a loss of vision and is in need of services. Our District 14B Chairperson for BVRS is Lion Michael Zaken. If you have any questions about BVRS contact Mike at 412-655-1234 or via email at [email protected]. Drug companies include braille on OTC product packaging in Europe but not so much here in the United States. Some of the big chains like CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid make braille instructions available to the visually impaired but very few OTC medications participate. Sounds like a cause to start a movement to correct here in the states. Let’s soar into Service! Mary Ann Belles email: [email protected] phone 412-833-3450 or 412-983- 8956 2 There are 33 Lions clubs in our District and I was wondering if all 33 clubs have a Lions gong for their meetings? I have a couple gongs from clubs that are no longer in existence If your club does not have one, please let me know and you may claim one. It may need a little elbow grease and Brasso to make it nice and shiny! Please emial me at [email protected] or call me at 412-877-5273. Does anyone still have one of these T-shirts? My wife just happened to come across this while going through some old boxes. These tshirts were made to prmote our fundraiser with the Pittsburgh Maulers back in March 1984. We had purchased 500 shirts anticipating that we would sell them for $5 each and add those proceeds to our net profit from the sale of tickets for the game. Unfortunately, the temperature 0 that game day was 30 … Needless to say, we had a terrible sale. I think we sold maybe two dozen. And for the next two years, we tried OCTOBER’S selling them for $1 each at cabinet meetings, CLUB ANNIVERSARIES Region Rallies and Zone Meetings. Thank goodness, the proceeds received from the Monroeville Lions Club – 68 years Maulers netted our Districct a little over October 2, 1952 $32,000!

  • Millikin in the Pros
    Millikin in the Pros Twenty-six former Millikin University players have enjoyed professional football careers in the NFL, CFL, European and Areana football leagues. Eight of them played in the Chicago Bears organization, including six on the 1920 Staley team that was the forerunner of the present Bears franchise. Enjoying the most distinguished professional careers of the former Big Blue were Pro Football Hall of Famer George Musso and Canadian Football League Hall of Famer Virgil Wagner. Musso, a 1982 Hall of Fame inductee, played 12 seasons with the Bears (1933-44) and earned All-Pro honors at tackle and guard–the first player to be recognized at two positions. He served as Chicago's captain when the Bears were known as the "Monsters of the Midway." Wagner, who played halfback and cornerback, was inducted into the CFL Hall of Fame in 1980 following a nine-year career (1946-54) with the Montreal Alouettes. He led the CFL in scoring his first four seasons, scored a league-record 79 career touchdowns and was a five-time all-league selection. The most recent NFL signee is Michael Marker, a wide receiver who graduated in 2003. Marker, signed with the Green Bay Packers in December 2004. Eric Smith, a 1997 graduate and two-time CCIW selection at tight end, signed a two-year free agent contract with the San Diego Chargers in May 1998. Recent players Chris Katzmark, Ryan Bailey, Donnell Brown, Mike Kohl and Joe Hyland are playing or have played in European leagues. Katzmark (WR, 2007 graduate) and Bailey (DL, 2008 graduate), signed contracts with Finland's Kouvola Indians in 2008.

  • THE HISTORY of SMU FOOTBALL 1910S on the Morning of Sept
    OUTLOOK PLAYERS COACHES OPPONENTS REVIEW RECORDS HISTORY MEDIA THE HISTORY OF SMU FOOTBALL 1910s On the morning of Sept. 14, 1915, coach Ray Morrison held his first practice, thus marking the birth of the SMU football program. Morrison came to the school in June of 1915 when he became the coach of the University’s football, basketball, baseball and track teams, as well as an instructor of mathematics. A former All-Southern quarterback at Vanderbilt, Morrison immediately installed the passing game at SMU. A local sportswriter nicknamed the team “the Parsons” because the squad was composed primarily of theology students. SMU was a member of the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association, which ruled that neither graduate nor transfer students were eligible to play. Therefore, the first SMU team consisted entirely of freshmen. The Mustangs played their first game Oct. 10, 1915, dropping a 43-0 decision to TCU in Fort Worth. SMU bounced back in its next game, its first at home, to defeat Hendrix College, 13-2. Morrison came to be known as “the father of the forward pass” because of his use of the passing game on first and second downs instead of as a last resort. • During the 1915 season, the Mustangs posted a record of 2-5 and scored just three touchdowns while giving up 131 Ownby Stadium was built in 1926 points. SMU recorded the first shutout in school history with a 7-0 victory over Dallas University that year. • SMU finished the 1916 season 0-8-2 and suffered its worst 1920s 1930s loss ever, a 146-3 drubbing by Rice.

Well, here you go. The national crisis is over. The annual post-Super Bowl football withdrawal, a seemingly incurable malady that impacts millions every year the second weekend in February and lasts weeks and months, is now in the past thanks to The Alliance of American Football, the creation of Charlie Ebersol, a television and film producer, and Bill Polian, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. They have the football game plan, the business model with multiple big-money investors and a national television contract with CBS to succeed where other spring leagues have failed. The idea is not to compete with the National Football League. That’s a failed concept. The Alliance will complement the NFL and satisfy the insatiable appetite of football fans who otherwise would be suffering from a long period of depression.

  • ROY JOHNSON Offensive Coordinator/ Wide Receivers Quarterbacks
    Jerry Holmes head coach JERRYHEAD HOLMES COACH Jerry Holmes enters his first season as head coach at Hampton University. Prior to becoming head coach, Holmes spent the last three seasons as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Hampton (2004-07). Holmes also spent five years coaching defensive backs for the San Diego Chargers (2002-03), the Washington Redskins (2001) and the Cleveland Browns (1999-00). As a coach, Holmes embodies the same characteristics that he demonstrated as a player in the NFL and the USFL: physical play and aggressive football. His coaching prowess has transferred successfully to his players on the field everywhere he has been. In 2001, his Redskins secondary boasted the NFL’s sixth-leading defense against the pass. The team’s 23 interceptions were the fifth-most in the league. During Holmes’ tenure with the Browns, Cleveland ranked 11th and 12th in the league against the pass. Holmes began his coaching career as the linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator at Hampton University from 1992 to 1994. During those three seasons with the Pirates, Hampton posted a remarkable record of 31-4-1, winning three consecu- tive CIAA championships, making two trips to the NCAA playoffs and capturing the 1994 Black College National Championship. After leaving Hampton, Holmes spent the next four seasons (1994-98) as the defensive backs coach at his alma mater, West Virginia University. In 1996, the Mountaineers featured the nation’s top-ranked defense that included a No. 5 national ranking against the pass. He has also completed coaching internships with the Detroit Jerry Holmes Lions, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Boston University.

    Contents This publication has been produced to provide information on the 22 Mountaineers who completed their eligibility for West Virginia during the 2012 season. It contains updated information through the conclusion of the 2012 campaign. Mountaineer Senior Reviews ...........................................................................................4 Highlights, honors, superlatives and fi nal statistics for the 22 Mountaineers who completed their careers in 2012. 2009 Season In Review ..................................................................................................48 Bill Stewart’s record after two years is the second-best mark among all WVU head coaches who have coached during the long and storied history of Mountaineer football. Each of his two seasons, he has totaled nine wins and led his program to a second-place fi nish in the BIG EAST Conference, a Top 25 national ranking and a bowl appearance. However, the difference between the 2008 and 2009 seasons was the Gator Bowl appearance. 2010 Season In Review ..................................................................................................56 The West Virginia football program has shown consistency during Bill Stewart's head coaching tenure. The Mountaineers fi nished with a third straight nine-win season and posted a 5-2 mark in the BIG EAST. However, in 2010, Connecticut, Pitt and West Virginia fi nished with identical league marks and each claimed a piece of the league title. That marked the sixth conference title won by West Virginia, most by any school in the league. 2011 Season In Review ..................................................................................................66 "Adversity doesn’t build character, it reveals it” – But never has a statement been more true about one group than it was about the 2011 West Virginia football program.
